The Dartmouth sailing team has sent a contingent of sailors to San Diego, Calif., where the Big Green will compete in the Intercollegiate Sailing Association’s three spring national championships.

On May 24, the Sperry Women’s Championship began four days of competition prior to the Laser Performance Team Race, which begins May 28 and concludes on May 30.

The first two days of the women’s race will feature two 18-team regattas in which the top nine teams from each group will advance to the final round. The team race will consist of a 16-team round robin, in which the top eight teams advance. Those eight teams will advance to another round robin, followed by a final four to determine the champion.

The Gill Coed National Championship takes place May 31 through June 3. After two days of racing that will feature 36 schools split into two groups of 18, the top nine teams from each group will advance to the finals, where the winner will be crowned.
